"A must-have for anyone who feels called to the woods." -- The Trek Tips based on the authors’ extensive on-the-ground experiences Interest in hiking and long-distance trails continues to boom In Adventure Ready, renowned hikers Katie "Salty" Gerber and Heather "Anish" Anderson take what they’ve learned both on the trail and through teaching their online classes to a new level: preparing long-distance hikers for all the challenges--physical, emotional, and mental--they may encounter while on the trail for weeks or months. This clear and comprehensive guide sets backpackers up for success with detailed information about everything from the basics of gear selection, navigation, safety, and trip planning to nutritional and physical preparation and body resiliency to how to readjust after returning home. Worksheets and checklists make it easy to stay on top of all the planning a long-distance hike requires, while thoughtful prompts to address the "Why" of your adventure help to keep you motivated. Adventure Ready empowers both men and women to create goals, face challenges, and be stronger and smarter on the trail.

When Heather Anderson''s husband, Josh, left his professional baseball career in obedience to Christ''s calling, years of pain and brokenness followed. Not only did God require Josh to die to himself, but Heather also experienced a pouring out. Together, however, they learned that being separated from your dream doesn''t mean you''ve separated from God. Through the pages of Strangely Dim you will: ● Take active steps to mend your relationship with God. ● Restore your trust in God when He changes your circumstances. ● Gain confidence to speak with the Lord after you''ve been disappointed. ● Overcome the urge to shrink back from your mission when your purpose is unclear. ● Discover satisfaction in your new phase of life. Strangely Dim reveals the necessity to return to your first love. Personally experiencing the Lord is how you obtain His light, because in Him there is no darkness. Your pain will grow dim in the light of your commitment and God''s glory. Endorsement: Because the light of God''s goodness is sometimes overshadowed by the dim realities of broken dreams and private anguish, Heather Anderson has written a deeply personal guide with the singular goal of helping us find our way again. She writes, not as a spectator from the stands, but as an active participant on the field of adversity. Her biblical insights will instruct you even as the story of her family inspires you. Read this book to be better prepared for the darkest days of your life. -Adam B. Dooley, senior pastor, Englewood Baptist Church, Jackson, Tennessee, and author of Hope When Life Unravels. Not only did I enjoy the love story between Heather and Josh Anderson, but I also was drawn to the life lessons she has drawn from their lives. I appreciated Heather''s transparency as well as the reminder that being separated from our dreams does not mean we are separated from God. -Mike Yorkey, co-author of Out of the Wilderness and At First Light About the Author: Heather Anderson, a breast cancer survivor, lives in Eubank, Kentucky with her husband Josh, a former Major League Baseball player, along with their son and daughter.

Dragons, an integral part of Tibetan culture and considered one of the four dignities.

Despite her success setting a self-supported Fastest Known Time record on the Pacific Crest Trail in 2013, Heather “Anish” Anderson still had such deep-seated insecurities that she became convinced her feat had been a fluke. So two years later she set out again, this time hiking through mud, rocks, and mountain blazes to crush her constant self-doubt and seek the true source of her strength and purpose. The 2,180 miles of the Appalachian Trail, from Maine to Georgia, did not make it easy. Anderson struggled with its infamous rain, humidity, insects, and steep grades for 54 days. But because she had to fight for every step, she knew when she reached the summit of Springer Mountain, the AT’s southern terminus, that she had fully earned the trail. Of greater value, she learned to love herself and her body, and to feel the depth of her power. Examining emotional scars as well as her relationship with her mother, Anderson’s deeply internal yet highly physical journey in Mud, Rocks, Blazes is an essential story.

Gateway to Healing answers the what, why and how to these questions. In her groundbreaking book, Heather Anderson Kokx provides step-by-step information, tools, practices, and exercies to guide you on your journey to sustainble happiness.

There were three things I knew were true: His mom was definitely dead. He had two sweet kids. Ok, so maybe that was all I was really sure about. An unexpected breakup with her fiance sent Heather Anderson into the dubious world of online dating, yielding a spate of tragic dates and a couple of troubled entanglements. She agreed to one more meeting before deleting her accounts, and found herself dancing with a total dreamboat who seemed almost ridiculously perfect for her. After living with him for two months, she discovered that nearly everything she believed she knew about him was a lie. Faced with this reality, Heather knew she had some serious decisions to make. And what happened next was extraordinary. Liar Liar Heart on Fire is a story about what can happen when we genuinely accept the idea of unconditional love; when we realize that it is always an act of will to believe something; when we are brave enough to be vulnerable and expansive. It''s a story of two people who turned lies into the foundation of a true (and honest) lifelong partnership. Wickedly funny and genuinely insightful, Anderson shows us something vital about trauma and empathy, courage and commitment-and about the transformative power of storytelling. Heather Anderson is a songwriter and the Founder of The Mamahood and The Club, two communities that celebrate womxn uplifting womxn. She currently resides in The San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, their three youngest children, a dog, two cats, five chickens, and one bearded dragon. www.heatherlynnanderson.com

By showcasing their experiences and activities, and positioning NCTE policy statements--The Students'' Right to Read and NCTE Beliefs about the Students'' Right to Write--as foundational guiding documents, Ochoa and her colleagues prove that even in today''s standards-driven environment, authentic reading and writing practices can create literacy-rich middle school classrooms. To help all middle school educators encourage their students to build literate lives both within the classroom and well beyond it, veteran middle school teacher Jennifer Ochoa has brought together middle school teachers and teacher leaders, children''s author and We Need Diverse Books cofounder Ellen Oh, children''s literature scholar Kristin McIlhagga, reading and writing workshop teacher-author Linda Rief, and censorship expert Millie Davis to examine current middle school literacy practices that support students'' rights to read and write. By showcasing their experiences and activities, and positioning NCTE policy statements--The Students'' Right to Read and NCTE Beliefs about the Students'' Right to Write--as foundational guiding documents, Ochoa and her colleagues prove that even in today''s standards-driven environment, authentic reading and writing practices can create literacy-rich middle school classrooms. As a bonus, teachers who don''t have strong support in their schools to implement these practices will find a myriad of suggestions for developing a virtual personal learning network--a grassroots professional development tailored to their needs and interests--that will support them in their efforts to help kids as readers and writers.

"Purpose: Research shows definite connections between food choices and caries, periodontal disease, and oral cancer. Dental hygienists have the unique opportunity to educate patients on how nutrition can improve oral health. Dental hygiene students are introduced to these concepts but struggle to gain confidence to share this knowledge with patients. This study looked at an educational module on motivational interviewing (MI) and an electronic assessment tool to build student confidence with nutritional counseling. Methods: Students participated in an educational module to review MI and introduce the electronic nutritional risk assessment and counseling tool. Prior to the module, participants completed a pretest about attitudes and confidence levels regarding MI and nutritional counseling. After three weeks of clinical practice, participants completed a posttest including the same questions, a report on the frequency of nutritional counseling sessions, and open-ended questions. Data was compared for quantitative changes and qualitative themes from participant responses. Results: Twenty-two students (n = 22) participated in both pretest and posttest. There were statistically significant changes in participants'' frequency of nutritional counseling sessions (p = 0.049) as well as in their confidence (p = 0.007) and comfort (p = 0.020) discussing nutrition with patients. Participants struggled to become more confident in MI as demonstrated with no significant change in their feelings surrounding MI (p = 0.150). Students reporting increased nutritional counseling sessions showed improvement in their confidence with nutritional counseling. Conclusion: Introducing MI with an electronic assessment tool to aid dental hygiene students can improve confidence with nutritional counseling"--Page vi-vii.

Question: What''s better than a cute avocado and an adorable piece of toast? Answer: There is literally nothing better than a cute avocado and an adorable piece of toast. Nothing at all. That''s why I chose Adam the avocado and Toast the toast to be the subjects of this colouring book, and I hope you enjoy spending time with them as you colour your way around their world, and follow their lives as they as they navigate issues such as rising rent, social media, and societal expectations. This book makes the perfect gift for avocado lovers, millennials, and basically anyone who likes cute things with cute faces. Please note, this is a novelty colouring book, so the drawings are simple, yet adorable. The book contains 23 single-sided illustrations and a pencil tester page. Would recommend for use with pencils rather than pens.

By age 25, Heather Anderson had hiked what is known as the "Triple Crown" of backpacking: the Appalachian Trail (AT), Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), and Continental Divide Trail (CDT)—a combined distance of 7,900 miles with a vertical gain of more than one million feet. A few years later, she left her job, her marriage, and a dissatisfied life and walked back into those mountains. In her new memoir, Thirst: 2600 Miles to Home, Heather, whose trail name is "Anish," conveys not only her athleticism and wilderness adventures, but also shares her distinct message of courage--her willingness to turn away from the predictability of a more traditional life in an effort to seek out what most fulfills her. Amid the rigors of the trail--pain, fear, loneliness, and dangers--she discovers the greater rewards of community and of self, conquering her doubts and building confidence. Ultimately, she realizes that records are merely a catalyst, giving her purpose, focus, and a goal to strive toward. Heather is the second woman to complete the “Double Triple Crown of Backpacking,” completing the Appalachian, Pacific Crest, and Continental Divide National Scenic Trails twice each. She holds overall self-supported Fastest Known Times (FKTs) on the Pacific Crest Trail (2013)—hiking it in 60 days, 17 hours, 12 minutes, breaking the previous men’s record by four days and becoming the first women to hold the overall record—and the Arizona Trail (2016), which she completed in 19 days, 17 hours, 9 minutes. She also holds the women’s self-supported FKT on the Appalachian Trail (2015) with a time of 54 days, 7 hours, 48 minutes. Heather has hiked more than twenty thousand miles since 2003, including ten thru-hikes. An ultramarathon runner, she has completed six 100-mile races since August 2011 as well as dozens of 50 km and 50-mile events. She has attempted the infamous Barkley Marathons four times, starting a third loop once. Heather is also an avid mountaineer working on several ascent lists in the US and abroad.

"Background: Targeting the tumor microenvironment has become a promising avenue of oncology, however little is known about this aspect in medulloblastoma. The tumor microenvironment includes many components which may either inhibit or promote malignant growth. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and neutrophils have demonstrated both pro- and anti-tumoral activity that can vary between tumor types. Senescent cells exhibit a senescent associated secretory phenotype (SASP) which can affect neighboring tumor cells, immune cell infiltration, and cell differentiation. We aimed to characterize the tumor microenvironment in the pediatric brain tumor Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) medulloblastoma.Methods/Results: Using the Ptch1+/- mouse model of Shh medulloblastoma, we have shown that the tumor microenvironment evolves as the tumor develops. In preneoplasia there are macrophages and senescent cells. Peripheral macrophage depletion with clodronate liposomes did not affect TAM density early in tumorigenesis, suggesting that at the preneoplastic stage TAMs originate from the microglia rather than the periphery. Through ablation with Navitoclax, we found that senescent cells restrict preneoplasia growth. Advanced tumors have a more complex microenvironment including macrophages and neutrophils. Both M1-like and M2-like macrophages are present in tumors, and they aggregate in regions of high apoptosis and low proliferation. Through comparing tissues of bypassed senescence or potentially-unrestricted SASP activity, we show that neither macrophage, neutrophil, nor stem cell densities are affected by senescent cells. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that the tumor microenvironment of medulloblastoma evolves, becoming more complex as the tumor progresses to advanced stage. Senescent cells restrict tumor growth during early stages, suggesting their SASP is inducing paracrine senescence. Understanding the tumor microenvironment of medulloblastoma may lend insights into how this tumor can be targeted with immunotherapy agents"--

Here’s a bit of advice, mom to mom: Throw down the minivan keys, brush the cereal off the table, kick the toys into a corner, sit down with a cup of coffee (or glass of wine), and read Death by Minivan. Author Heather Anderson Renshaw, mother of five, is a lot like you. She knows all about the wild, crazy, and often hilarious experience of motherhood. And she feels sometimes like she’s barely keeping up — and maybe even failing at the whole “mom thing.” Thankfully, as she shares in these pages, motherhood isn’t a trip that’s meant to be taken alone. God’s got this, and the more we let him lead, the more we find the fruits of his Holy Spirit taking root in our hearts and in our families. So buckle up, because you’re on the road to a more joyful, more peaceful, more faithful motherhood. Along the way, Heather offers tips for getting past the inevitable roadblocks, the “GPS” for finding your way (it’s Scripture), and roadside assistance courtesy of the saints. With humor, honesty, and spirit, Heather Renshaw employs personal insights and timeless truths to help us harvest the fruits of the Holy Spirit, our companion and GPS along our path to God. Insightful and fun for individuals and even better for group study, this book should be required "drivers training" for busy moms navigating family life.— Lisa M.

Fisher & Frey’s answer to close and critical reading Learn the best ways to use text-dependent questions as scaffolds during close reading and the big understandings they yield. But that’s just for starters. Fisher and Frey also include illustrative video, texts and questions, cross-curricular examples, and an online facilitator’s guide—making the two volumes of TDQ a potent professional development tool across all of K–12. The genius of TDQ is the way Fisher and Frey break down the process into four cognitive pathways: What does the text say? How does the text work? What does the text mean? What does the text inspire you to do?

Fisher & Frey’s answer to close and critical reading No doubt since the cave paintings of prehistoric times, humans have asked questions to make sense of the message. So what could possibly be new about posing questions about text? Plenty . . . and with TDQ, Doug Fisher and Nancy Frey reveal it all. After one quick read, you will have learned all the very best ways to use text-dependent questions as scaffolds during close reading . . . and the big understandings they can yield, especially when executed the Fisher and Frey way. But that’s just for starters. Fisher and Frey also include illustrative video, recommended texts and questions, examples from across content areas, and an online professional learning guide, making the two volumes of TDQ a potent professional development tool across all of K-12. The genius of TDQ is the way Fisher and Frey break down the process into four cognitive pathways that help teachers "organize the journey through a text" and frame an extended discussion around it. Step by step, this approach ensures that in every close reading lesson, students are guided to consider explicit and implied meanings, and deeply analyze and appreciate various aspects of a text, especially those that may be challenging or confusing. Here’s how the four inter-related processes play out, with every why and every how answered: What does the text say? (general understandings and key details) How does the text work? (vocabulary, structure, and author’s craft) What does the text mean? (logical inferences and intertextual connections) What does the text inspire you to do? (write, investigate, present, debate) The cool thing? These questions ignite students’ engagement and discussion because they strategically lead students to a place of understanding where explicit and implied meanings and interpretations can be debated. Far from being overly literal or teacher-led, the questioning framework Fisher and Frey advance enhances the quality of student talk and idea-generation. All in all, there’s no better resource to cultivate students’ capacity for independent reading and incisive thinking. Longtime collaborators and recipients of numerous teaching and leadership awards, DOUGLAS FISHER and NANCY FREY are Professors of Educational Leadership at San Diego State University as well as teacher leaders at Health Sciences High & Middle College.
